updates and some pictures from my wedding

well, as I was saying last time, I promised to upload some of my wedding pictures whenever I get a new laptop. yes, I got myself a sony vaio simply because it was pink. I now came to realized that I own so many pink stuff! my room used to be pink before I was married, my DSI case is also pink, my yearly planner is also pink (helly kitty of course!) and not to mention my closet is full of pink tops lol. Im actually not that much of a girly girl. I can be very tough at certain circumstances. so anyway, here are some of my wedding pics. as I titled it, "our arranged marriage" lol. if you take a look at our expression we dont seem to look very happy. of course its not that we didnt wanna get married, but as a cambodian tradition wedding it normally took three days. and ours was only 2 days and we were already exhausted. it was a very beautiful wedding; so many outfit changed, so many beautiful flowers, all of my relatives including ones from outer states are here, and best of all I get to spend the rest of my life with the man I love.

December 1st was my birthday. I am turning 26... :/

I didnt really do anything special this year cuz I decided to get braces instead. how is that relevant? well, my braces cost about $4,000 so I promise Ny that if he help me pay for it I wont ask for any gift on birthdays or any holidays until my braces are paid off. I guess he lived to my words. ta dah! I didnt get anything for my birthday or Christmas. Im not bitter though, I am happy enough to finally get something I wanted in a very long time. I think I look kinda cute with braces too hehe. sooo after I get a new laptop I will upload tons of pictures on here. Im just very lazy right now cuz I hate sitting on the computer too long.

other than that, Happy New Year! I know its late, but it's never too late to start new.. anything new.

Did I forget to mention? I am married now. again, I will post pictures of my wedding later. August 22, 2009 was the day Ny and I got married. fairly new, but I feel like I've been with this guy forever already. still love him more and more each day. I must admit, we are not compatible, but we believe that love conquer all.

almost cried at work today

I work at a school and I barely see any Asian, not alone Cambodian teacher. so this year I worked with a Cambodian teacher and he really inspired me. its interesting that he taught a lot of cultural ethnic issues even though he's an english teacher. I've never seen that before because most of my teachers were white. so anyway, this month the students were learning about Khmer Rouge and the aftermath. first it didnt affect me because honestly I knew very little about the khmer Rouge. but since now Im also doing a research paper for my history class about the Khmer Rouge, it kinda hit me.
Its a shame that I knew very little about khmer rouge. My parents didnt like to talk about it. They just said thank god they're still alive. but then again my parents were kids during the Khmer rouge era. I grew up in the refugee camp, site 2. I thought life was great over there, but what did I know? I was only a child. I get to run free inside the camp not knowing that there's danger all around me. that's the reason why we were stuck there in the first place.
but after I watched a documentary video today about a girl's family I almost cried because I cant believe how ignorant I was about the situation. I understand how every khmer suffered a great loss, but I never did comprehend how significant it is. I guess it finally hit me today. I dont know why, but maybe seeing pictures of the camp that I used to live in really open my eyes how much we suffered as Khmer.
while watching the video, my eyes got so watery that the teacher told me to sit down and read a book instead. I was ashame, seriously. I know my parents never told me anything because they dont want me to think too much. I think all the time. depression is like my long term disease or something so my parents would do whatever to make me happy. but I feel like I didnt care how much my parents suffer. I didnt care that I now have less relatives. I hope I can finish my papers without being too emotional

americana!

I just discovered a new Mall in the LA area recently. Im not really surprised that the mall itself is very nice. There is an expensive section, which is too far for my reach. and a "normal" section for us regular folks. I have to say, the place is quite a view. Im mean, there is no large beautiful landscape or anything, but the architecture and the ambient is so California, not the beachy california, but a different kind of california. I love going new places =D
